On 25 Mar 2026 GMT+7, Pep Guardiola, the Spanish manager of Premier League giants Manchester City, spoke about Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah following his departure from Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season, connecting it to former German manager Jürgen Klopp.
Pep Guardiola commented on Mohamed Salah's planned exit from Liverpool after this season: "I think Jürgen Klopp made me raise my level to become a better manager, and Mohamed Salah forced our defenders to improve. In the past, I used his name to warn my defenders about his technical skill in ball control and goal scoring. He is truly outstanding."
Looking back to 2017, Liverpool signed Mohamed Salah, formerly of Chelsea, from Roma in Italy's Serie A for an initial fee of around £35 million (approximately 1.526 billion baht). He has since scored prolifically and helped the team win major trophies, including the Premier League title—the club’s first top-flight league championship in 30 years.
